Weekend in Dalarna

 The fireplace in our suite

We are just back home after a wonderful weekend in Dalarna that didn't quite turn out the way we planned.
We left early Friday morning going first to Gavle for a coffeebreak at Staffan's house. After that we continued to Svärdsjö to Per och Gunilla's place for lunch. Very good :-) Then off to Tällberg where we were supposed to see Diggiloo at Dalhalla which is outside. Since we live in Sweden you can't tell when the weather is fine or not even not at summer and Friday was the worst day ever. It rained and rained and then it rained even more. You know the rain that no umbrella or rainclothes can stand. You get wet no matter what. To make things worse it was just around 10C.

So after checking in at Tällbergsgården and our beautiful suite we decided it wasn't worth going to Dalhalla and perhaps get pneumonia so we had a wonderful 3-course dinner with wine. Then we took some wine over to our suite, let a fire in the open fireplace and had a very cosy, and warm, time :-)

Next morning we had a great breakfast before leaving for Söderbärke and our good friends Pär and Brita (H.E.A.T-parents) who has this paradiseplace with a lakeview. We love every time we are there. It's just gorgeous and so peaceful. So we went around and ended up at Tolvsbo inn where we had a glass of wine and then back home to their place for some BBQ.
I must tell you that when we sat at Tolvsbo the sun came and the rest of the evening we had the most gorgeous weather and were able to sit outside eating.
This morning Hasse and I took a walk and when we came back we had a wonderful breakfast before leaving.
This time we took small roads back and ended up in Västerås where we had lunch before going the last distance home.

So now we have a couple of days at home before heading to Helsinki :-)

By the way I'm cheering for the USA women team in socker now that Sweden's out. Go USA!
